Days of Our Lives spoilers for December 18-22, 2023, promise a week of joy, tears, and celebration in Salem, with some conundrums thrown in for good measure.

Monday, December 18

Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) thinks her best bet is to confess when Leo (Greg Rikaart) threatens her once more and is about to tell Eric (Greg Vaughan) that Jude is really Nicole’s (Arianne Zucker) baby. However, Harris (Steve Burton) has a lead, so that stops her.

Is Harris’ lead EJ (Daniel Feiurriegel) calling to tell them that his wife has the DiMera tunnels?

Harris is also busy with Stephanie (Abigail Klein). She officially breaks up with Chad (Billy Flynn) before telling Harris that she has no memory of what happened the night before.

Paulina (Jackee Harry) refuses to accept that something may be wrong with her physically. She is increasingly tired and covers with Chanel (Raven Bowens), who can tell her mother isn’t feeling well.

Tuesday, December 19

Stephanie has way too many men to contend with when she finds herself face-to-face with Chad, Alex (Robert Scott Wilson), and Everett (Blake Berris). However, Everett is the only one who goes after her when she furiously walks away from them.

Alex is a busy man when he also meets up with Brady (Eric Martsolf). The two men discuss how they deal with Theresa (Emily O’Brien). Meanwhile, Brady nearly catches Theresa while she’s on a call with sneaky Konstantin (John Kapelos).

Harris has a lot of explaining to do when he tells Ava (Tamara Braun) what happened with Stephanie. Will she buy his apologies or is it over between them? Ava also has to deal with Stefan (Brandon Barash), who is freaking out because Gabi was hurt in Statesville.

Wednesday, December 20

It’s almost Christmas but Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) confesses to Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) that she is really missing Victor (John Aniston) and having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit. Of course, Konstantin eavesdrops on the whole conversation.

Meanwhile, as Alex and Xander (Paul Telfer) grate on one another’s nerves, Theresa learns that Andrew knows she is the one who kidnapped Victoria.

Jada (Elia Cantu) is put in the hot seat when Rafe (Galen Gering) asks if she’s made up her mind about moving in with him. What will she say?

Thursday, December 21

It’s a day full of nostalgia for some of your Salem favorites as John (Drake Hogestyn), Marlena (Deidre Hall), Steve (Stephen Nichols), Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), Kate (Lauren Koslow), and Roman (Josh Taylor) take a trip down memory lane.

Chanel is alarmed as Paulina’s health gets worse. She takes her to the hospital not knowing Johnny (Carson Boatman) is spending time helping a lonely Holly (Ashley Puzemis) celebrate her birthday.

Friday, December 22

It’s Christmas in Salem and time for the annual Horton tree-trimming gathering hosted by Doug (Bill Hayes) and Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) in Tom and Alice’s house. Chad is there, as well as Sarah, Xander, Maggie, and even Konstantin.

Brady and Theresa spend the holiday with Tate, who is sick of listening to his parents arguing while Stephanie spends a working holiday with Everett.
